Chapter 1196: Teammates Who Are Like Pigs

Huangfu Chaobo was startled. He quickly took the pigeon letter from the chamberlain and scanned it quickly. Suddenly, he stood up and kicked the desk in front of him to the ground.

"Wow!"

"Boom, bang, bang!"

I saw the imperial case overturned on the jade steps, and the items on the case were scattered on the ground, and some even rolled down under the jade steps. The sudden change frightened all the officials in the palace, and they all looked at each other like dumbfounded chickens. Looking at Huangfu Chaobo on the jade steps.

"Pig teammate...Gongsun Zan, did you grow up eating arrows?...I bought a watch last year! Are you full of Yoneda Kyodo!...Two wars in two years , the losses are huge, how dare you send troops to Hebei, you are looking for shit..."

Before everyone could react, they heard Huangfu Chaobo on the jade steps jumping to his feet and yelling. Everyone had never seen the king so furious. The servants on the jade steps and the shadow guard kneeling below. They were even more frightened and trembling, and they knelt on the ground one by one, not daring to make a sound.

For a moment, everyone in the palace looked at Zhu Jun, the most senior person. Under such circumstances, only Zhu Jun dared to speak. Seeing this, Zhu Jun quickly stood up, walked quickly to the jade steps, looked at the chamberlain above and said: "Bring the dove letter to me quickly!"

The servant was shocked and immediately woke up. He quickly picked up the pigeon letter that fell in front of him, walked down the jade steps quickly, and handed it to Zhu Jun's hand.

Zhu Jun read the pigeon letter in a few seconds, and his face suddenly turned livid. Then he handed the pigeon letter to the Prime Minister Tian Feng. After Tian Feng read it, he also cursed: "Zhu Zi is not enough to be wise, and Zhu Zi is stupid. Shuzi is faint and incompetent, Shuzi..."

Soon the pigeon letter was handed around to all the important officials in the palace. After everyone read the pigeon letter, a sense of powerlessness came out of their hearts.

The content of the pigeon letter is very simple: Ten days ago, at the instigation of three sworn brothers, Gongsun Zan, King of Yan, led 30,000 cavalry and 50,000 infantry, and set out south to attack Hebei. Fearing the opposition of Gongsun Fan and others, at Liu Weitai Under the instigation of the three people, Guo Guangjing, Guo Wei Gongsun Fan and other important officials did not know anything about it. A few days later, Tian Kai, the prefect of Zhuo County, who was patrolling Fan Yang, accidentally discovered his king's tens of thousands of troops, and was discovered by everyone. After Tian Kai tried hard to persuade him to no avail, he had to immediately send someone to Jicheng to inform the Prime Minister. and Guowei.

By the time Gongsun Fan arrived in a hurry, Gongsun Zan's army had already begun to attack Puyin City in Wei State. At this time, Gongsun Zan did not listen to his brother's persuasion at all, and was obsessed with earning military honors for his sworn brother.

In desperation, Gongsun Fan had to return to Jicheng in a hurry. After discussing with the Prime Minister, he ordered Tian Kai to assemble Zhuojun's troops and be ready for support at any time. He also urgently mobilized troops to replenish Jicheng's troops. At the same time, he also passed His own eagle nest sent a message to the Shadow Guard and asked Huangfu Chaobo for help.

Seeing this news, everyone in the Tang State was dumbfounded. They could all see that the Yan State was now greatly weakened. If it recuperated for a few more years, it might be able to fight the Wei State, but if it started a war with the Wei State at this time, , there is no other consequence except seeking death.

Everyone knows that the Yan State is the most important part of the Tang State in stabilizing the situation in Hebei. The stalemate between Yan and Wei is the best outcome for the Tang State. If the Yan State loses, the Wei State will inevitably send troops to Youzhou, and the Tang State in order to restrict The development of Wei State will have to send troops to support Yan State. In this case, Tang State's plan will be disrupted.

While everyone in the palace was thinking about countermeasures, Huangfu Chaobo cursed again: "Gongsun Zan, you pig head, I and Gongsun Fan had already discussed it. If Yan wanted to send troops to Wei, it would be best to It would be a good idea to make an announcement in advance so that we can coordinate with each other. It would be a good idea for you to send troops to another country without even knowing about it."

A voice suddenly sounded in the hall. Although it was very small, it was clearly heard by everyone.

"Didn't your Majesty send troops to Zhao without informing King Yan?"

When everyone saw it,

It was Pang Tong who spoke. This son had a free-spirited nature and had a very good relationship with Huangfu Chaobo. He was the only one who dared to say such a thing at this time. Xu Shu next to him glared at him fiercely, fearing that he would make such rebellious remarks. This angered the furious king, but Pang Tong gave him a reassuring look.

Xu Shu was startled, but before he could wake up, Huangfu Chaobo who was on the jade steps had already heard Pang Tong's words. He laughed angrily: "Puch... I didn't tell him, but can this be the same? I'm not boasting, If I pull out the army of the Tang Dynasty and fight with the princes of the world one on one, no country can match my army. What the hell is Gongsun Zan? If he pulls out all his troops, he may not be able to match Yuan Shao's hand. After two major defeats in two years, he still dares to raise troops to fight. I really don’t know how to write death. I think he is getting more and more motivated on the road to death!"

After Pang Tong said this, Huangfu Chaobo slowly calmed down. Seeing this, Zhu Jun quickly came out and said: "Your Majesty, the Lord must not be angry and raise an army, and the general must not be angry and go to war. Your Majesty is the Lord of all peoples, you must not... "

When Huangfu Chaobo saw that Zhu Jun was starting to talk loudly again, he immediately stretched out his hand to stop him and said: "What my teacher taught me is that if Chaobo remembers it, he will definitely be able to make the mountains collapse in front of his eyes without any hesitation." I'm sorry, but now I would like to hear your advice, how should we deal with this matter?"

At this time, everyone understood that the purpose of Pang Tong's words was to divert the king's attention and calm his emotions. At this time, even Guo Jia couldn't help but admire Pang Tong's quick wit and secretly gave Pang Tong a thumbs up.

As early as after seeing the intelligence just now, Guo Jia had been thinking about it in his heart, and he had already had some clues in his mind. Now when he heard Huangfu Chaobo's question, he hurriedly stepped out and responded: "Reply to the king, in my opinion, our war is on the verge of a bow and arrow, and we have to launch it, but the ultimate goal of this war needs to be changed."

When setting the strategic goal of the war between Tang and Zhao last time, the goal of the Tang people was to try to drive Lu Bu's army back, to the city of Jinyang, and even to capture Jinyang. At the very least, they had to attack the cities south of Qi County on the southeast bank of Zhaoyu Lake in the south of Taiyuan, and then attack Queshu Valley, open up the connection between Taiyuan and Hedong, and control the front line within Taiyuan.

If you want to hold the Zhao army in the Taiyuan Basin, you must have a strong general like Zhao Yun. So Zhao Yun was specially transferred from Weijun to participate in the war to attack Zhao in the north. Now that Yan has changed, Tang's strategic goals must be adjusted accordingly. In order to contain Wei, the main force of Tang's army must not fight in Bingzhou for too long. Otherwise, once Wei really invades Yan, Yan may lose troops and territory, and may even be unable to recover. This is what Tang is most unwilling to see.

So Guo Jia meant that it is no longer realistic to want to attack Taiyuan Basin. Instead of taking risks, it is better to play steadily and capture Shangdang first. After taking control of Shangdang, wait for an opportunity to send troops to Taiyuan, and then gradually erode.
